Surplus at end of year falls back to IEEE-CS funds

IEEE-SA dues for 2004 increased to $35
	We have been collecting $10 from joining members
	Proposed to stop collecting SA dues and refund 
	to those who have paid.

Motion to collect only DASC fee, not SA fee.  The
motion passed.

Motion to suspend collection of membership fees pending
a budgeting meeting later this year and set an appropriate
fee.  Those who have already paid would be grandfathered
in.  Steve withdrew his motion.

Motion to cover travel expenses of chair and vice-chair
for DASC as funds are available from now onward.  The
motion passed.

A written report from the policies and procedure (P&P)
will be appended.

Since the SG elects the chair and vice-chair, it is key
to establish voting (Oz).

Proposal to get P&P in place before the next meeting.
Peter proposed 31 October for a full set of draft SG
and WG policies and procedures.   Steve requested that
there is a record of eligible voters and must submit
a record of WG votes to the DASC chair.

Next meeting around first week of December.  Peter 
will investigate venue options.

John mentioned that a PAR would be upcoming for 
VHDL-HF.

Oz volunteered if treasurer is a member of the
steering committee, John seconded.

Note will follow up with Alex on 
higher level of abstraction standards topic.

Meeting ajourned.
